THE ADfOCATE.^ ■ ■ ■» n» “ BRUNSWICK, (Ga.) ..NOV. 15, 1888. Georgia Legislature. —We have re ceived nothing pf the doings of this body later than is cont*i|»ed in the letter of our correspondent, which we publish below, with the exception of the following from the Au gusta Constitutionalist of the Bth inst. Very little business.was done in either house this morning. Several bills were in troduced in the Senate, and read the first time; one of them for amending the charter; of the Central Rail Road and Banking Com pany, and increasing its capital. [from our correspondent.] Milledgeville, Nov. & j We closed the elections for our officers yesterday evening, and owing to the absence of three State Rights’ Members, lost our Speaker. Mr. Day, (Union) the former Speak er, was elected by a majority of two votes. Our candidate was Mr. Meriwether of Put nam. In the Senate, the State Rights party were mere fortunate, all the members being at their post.— Judge Dougherty, of Clark, was elected President by a majority of five votes. In joint ballot, the State Rights party will have a majority of five to seven votes. To-day a set of Resolutions were introduced by Mr. Echols of Walton, respecting an inde pendent treasury and a national bank, which have caused much feeling. They were or dered te be printed. The Governor’s message was received yesterday, and contains much matter of importance. S. State Elections for Members of Con gress.— On Tuesday last, was completed in fourteen States of the Union, all the elections which are to take place the present year for members of the 26th Congress.—The result as to Loss and Gain b v the parlies, we cannot yet state ;—enough however has transpired to induce us to believe that the opponents to the present administration have lost nothing. The struggle in almost every State has been se vere, and the patronage of the administratiofi not wanting to force results in their favor. Perhaps, during the whole time of our ex istence as a nation, there never has been a period when party lines over so extended a country seemed so closely drawn, and so vio lently contested, as during the elections whicli have just closed. We may attribute this state of things to the fact, that a majority of our intelligent and independent citizens are op posed to the “ powers that be,” and the Ad ministration knowing this have put in motion all the activity that their patronage could control, and under this commanding influence thousands of illegal votes have found their way into the ballot boxes. In these fierce struggles, may it not be feared that licentiousness is making rapid strides upon the purity of our elections, and will soon destroy the only safe-guard of our country’s ark Public Virtue. WELL DONE McINTOSH! VVe are gratified to learn that on Monday last, Maj. Charles 11. Hopkins was elected to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Mabry, a Representative from Mcln tosh Coilpty, in the Legislature of this State, over his opponent, Allen B. Powell, by a ma jority of O.NE HONORED AND FOUR VOTES! The vote in Darien stood as follows : Hopkins, (State Rights) 111 Powell, (Union) 20 Fire. A two story dwelling,house owned | and occupied by Mrs. Ann Wright, at Cart-; wright’s point, in this county, was destroyed by fire on Saturday morning last We un derstand that owing to the progress- of the flames, after the fire was discovered, prop erty to the amount of five hundred dollars was destroyed, there not being time to remove it The way in which the house took fire is not known, but is supposed to have been commu nicated by a spark from the chimney. QyThe Rev. Mr. Baird, will preach at the Court House, in this city, on Sunday next— Services to commence at half past ten o’clk. New Paper. We have received the first number of a very neatly executed paper, en titled the “Old Dominion.” It is published at Portsmouth, Va. by Theophilus Fisk and A. F. Cunningham. In its politics it is democrat ic republican. From a statement published in the Charles ton papers, it appears that from the Bth of August to the 31st of October, the deaths in that city amounted to six hundred and thirty six—three hundred and fifty-two of which were by stranger’s fever. We perceive by the last number of the Da- j rien Telegraph, that the Editor of that paper [ offers his establishment for sale, and as a ; matter of courtesy notice the fact. We ap-, prebend Darien is getting a little too hot for him, or else he does not longer wish to live in - a place where “ there is neither law nor jus- 1 tice to be had.” To any person who would | publish a respectable paper devoted to the in terest of that place and its citizens, we think the opportunity offers a very good inducement for safe investment. He says, but we do not vouch for the fact, that the paper has a “ VERY EXTENSIVE circulation throughout the State! as well as in Alabama!! Louisiana... Mississippi!!!! New York!!!!! Massachusetts!!!!!! Connecticut!!!!!!! Pennsylvania!!!!!!!! District of Columbia!!!!!!!! &c.” i Governor's Message. Owing to its length and the late Mbr it was received, we are compelled to omit this very able docu ment till our next Morus Mclticaulis. A sale at auction of about fifty thousand Morus Multicaulus Mulberry trees, took place at New York re cently. They brought from 17 to 19 cents per foot. The silk culture and manufacture, says a New iork paper, is extending rapidly in this I country. We scarcely open a paper, but we find interesting statements of facts on this subject, and we think we hazard nothing in | saying that the time cannot be far distant when | the exportation of silk will be among the chief products of the country. If we remember right the first silk produced in this country was in Connecticut, where it has been regu- i larly extending, until the demand for the Mul berry Tree has become so great that all that can be bought in the state would not be a suf- j ficient supply for one county. From the New Orleans Bee, we learn a j fact as gratifying as it is surprising. Mr. j Covington, in the parish of St. Tammany, has for years cultivated the Morus Multicaulus to a great extent, and some ten or twelve plant ers in that parish alone, have together 100,000 trees. The climate and soil are admirable for' this culture, and Mr. C. believes silk will soon j be a great article of commerce in that state. | There recently, .arrived at New Bedford, Mass, in one day, four vessels from the Pacific Ocean, having on board upwards of nine thous and five hundred barrels sperm oil, valued at about two hundred and ninety thousand dol lars. A Good Yield. We learn from a eommu nication published in the Savannah Republi can, that Dr. Win. O. McConnell of Liberty County, raised the past season, eighty-three bushels, three jiccks and three quarts of corn from one acre of manured ground. The Augusta Constitutionalist of the Oth inst. says, an agency of the Bank of Bruns- j wick is to be located at that place, and that it! will commence business in the course of a | week or two. The Standing Army. The following is given in the Madisonian as the rank and file ! of the Executive standing army of office hold ers in the state of New York. llow hardly can the freedom of elections be maintained a gainst the natural enemies of that freedom, when their efforts are seconded by the as saults of such an army of placemen, whose daily bread, under the rule and reign of the 1 spoilers, is dependent on their partisan exer tions: 1880 postmasters, 217 mail contractors, 69 clerks in the N. York post office, 25 light house keener?, 500 custom house officers. These, says the Madisonian, constitute “a regiment of the King’s own, well drilled in the system of terrorism and seduction, and of dragooning voters!” The extensive coach manufactory of Messrs Reynolds, Clark & Reynolds, and a dwelling house belonging to Mr. John Strohecker, in Charleston, were destroyed by tire on the 4th inst., supposed to be the work of an incen diary. The loss to the proprietors of the coach establishment is stated to be §25,000 —only SOOOO insured. No insurance on the house, which was valued at 8 or SIO,OOO. By the laws of Austria, no person can he ex ecuted for any crime, not even for the most clearly proved murder, without his caressing his guilt. If he refuses to do so, when the evidence is strong to demonstration against him, he may be imprisoned, but he cannot be sent to iiis eternal account with a crime un confessed upon his soul. Cherokee Emigration. The Cassville Pioneer of the 30th ult. says, that two detacli ' ments of Cherckees left the week previous for their homes in the far west, leaving but three or four detachments, which will take up the line of march in the course of a week or two. The sick and the aged, the blind and the lame, will remain until the rise of the waters, they being unable to go by land. The Prince de Joinville has sent a hand some gold snuff box, enriched with diamonds, to Col. De Russy, as a token of gratitude for the hospitality he received from that officer . while at West Point. j The city of Mobile, from a census just ta ken, contains 13,921 inhabitants, of which | number 8,594 are whites.. The white males | number 5,682 and females 2,705. We witnessed, on Tuesday afternoon, the • departure, in the steam packet Now York, for Florida, of the detachment of U. S. troops, brought out by the ship St Mary, from n! York. They seem to be a fine body of men, 1 officered by young but gallant and enthusias- i tic men—a fine specimen.of what West Point I can turn out, and a good illustration of the f beneficial tendency of that institution, w hen i new troops are to be raised and officered, or • commissions become vacant by resignation, j While on this subject, we cannot but wonder that our government does not go on to con- ( struct steam-boats for their own use, instead of chartering from individuals, at a high rate, ! as it has done for four years past. It would render a benefit to science and the cause of improvement, and at the same time afford a better medium of transportation than by boats in which an adaptation to the purpose is not studied. Such experiments as these, could; only have a useful result.—[Sav. Georgian. ' BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE. Tile of Wm. Stewart, whose trial for Hedged murder of his father is now going on in Baltimore Court, at -1 tends her husband regularly every day, watching, apparently with intense inter est, the progress of the evidence, and be traying, in her pale, emaciated and anx ious but still beautiful countenance the ravages, which the situation of her hus i band is inflicting upon her constitution, j Although the sittings of the Court have been, several times, protracted until a late hour, she has never left, for a mo ment, the place which she has secured beside him, and will probably, if nature holds out, witness either his acquittal or conviction. There is nothing on earth more full of interest than sucli an in stance of devotion. The constancy and enduring love of woman have been the themes of admiration in all ages, and every day furnishes new proofs of the justness of even the poetical eulogies, which they have called forth. The sins and crimes and errors which drive all the rest of the world from the objects of their affections, seein but to bind them the closer to them, and the desertion of; sunshine friends is but the signal for newer, more resolved and more exclusive devotion on their part.—The rhapsody of Moore “ I know not, I care not, if guilt's in that heart, “ I know that I love thee, whatever thou art, - ’ seems to find not less warrant in real life than in fiction. Whatever may be the issue of the trial now pending, one can not but believe that there must have been something of good in the man who could attach to him so strongly a young and innocent woman. So often, however, are the affections of women misplaced— so frequently do we find the best and most beautiful of them lavishing the trea sures of their hearts upon totally unwor thy *bjects, that there could, perhaps, he no rule more unsafe than that which would seek to infer the good character or disposition of the husband from the excellent qualities of the wife. Balt. Chrnti. The above trial occupied the close atten tion of the Court for ten days. The jury, after a deliberation of twenty-six hours, returned with a verdict of “Guilty of murder in the second degree.” The punishment under it is confinement in the penitentiary for a term not exceeding eighteen years. The wife of the prisoner was in attendance at Court throughout every stage of its pro ceedings, watching with an intenseness of interest which may be well imagined, the pro gress of the case to its final issue. Baltimore, Nov. 6. Great Run by a Baltimore Clipper. —The ship Ann M’Kim, captain Walk er, arrived at this port yesterday, in the quickest passage ever made from Chili. She made the run from Coquimbo, one of the copper ports, in six days to the Capes during which site was becalmed seven days between Coquimbo and Valparaiso. She did not touch at the latter port, but was in sight of land, and her passage from thence to Baltimore was made in the re markably short time of fifty three, (lays, being, we believe, nine days less than the run from Valparaiso to Baltimore has ever before been made in. The Ann M’Kitn is built very much like the mod el, but on a larger scale, of the celebrat ed schooner Yellott, one of the fleetest vessels that ever spread a sail to the wind. When the Ann M’Kim left Coquimbo, nothing was yet known there of the Chil ian expedition against Peru, but captain W. has full confidence in the account of the capture of Lima.* * Received here by the Schr. Olive, 25th ult.—[Ed. Adv. Savannah, Nov. 8. Late from Florida. —By the steamer: New-York, Capt. Wright, arrived yester day from Garey’s Ferry, we have received , the following from our attentive correspon dent: Fort Hari.ee, (E. F.) Oct. 30. j Mr. Editor—Accompanying this, I send j you a copy of a general order, announc ing the disposition of the troops for the approaching campaign, —and extracts from letters received from two officers of; great intelligence. Although Gen. Taylor feels very confi dent that he can bring the war to a close; by negociation, yet he is unwilling to trust the wily savage; and his arrangements are | being made w ith a view to avail himself of the assistance of force, should it be found necessary. A letter from a friend at Tampa Bay is received, giving the best news evet yet re ceived; and his authority is of the highest I value. He says, "a number of Tallahas-' sees and Seminolcs proper are here; from 170 to 200, in families. Among them is Euchee-thlocko-Euiathla, the prime minis ter of the Tallahassees, and the family of 1 Echo-Emathla, king of that band. Sever al minor chiefs are here; and a principal sub-chief of the Mickasaukies, • named Coosa-Tustenuggce, was recently in, and gave a very reasonable and favorable talk. He has since sent in a runner, to say, that! by the full of this moon, he w ill be in, with a number of his people, not to go out a gain. Sam Jones is very sick, and per haps, by this time, dead, and with his peo ple, on his wav to this place, (Tampa.)— lie sent in a runner to Cotza, (Alligator’s step son,) to say, that he would maluj a I large fire down the bay, when Cotza must go out and meet him, and then etcortkim in here. Should Sam Jones come in, or die, the long agony is over. You perhaps know, that I have never been sanguine; perhaps less so than any officer in Flori da; but 1 now think matters more favor able than they have ever been before, and I confidently expert to see most of all those now out, on board ship, perhaps earlier than March or April.” The above is highly gratifying to Gen. Taylor, and confirms all his favorable an ticipations of the early settlement of this infernal war. lie has succeeded in ship- j ping every one of the Apalachicola In dians, (about 280—say 90 warriors:) and 1 this is a most important point gained. It will have a very strong influence on the , main point. Gen. Taylor’s grand talk, according to all his arrangements, is to; take place at Tampy Bay, on the Oth No vember* New Orlenas, Oct. 29. Direct .Vacs of French Blockade. —lt seems at length probable that the interminable! question of the Mexican blockade is drawing to a close. The French fleet, the departure ; of which we announced long since, has by j this time arrived in the gulf, and will not de- j lay commencing its operations. The ship Anais, from Bordeaux, lias arrived in our port, \ after a passage of 41 days. The captain has had the kindness to inform us that while sail- j ing near the northern extremity of St. Domin go, he met the Medce frigate of 10 guns, I commanded by Mr. Leray. The two vessels sailed in company during two days. It ap pears that the Medee not being so fast a sailer as the other vessels composing the squadron, had lagged somewhat behind. From the information procured by the cap tain of the Anais, it. seems that the French fleet had sailed from Cadiz, and must ere this, have arrived at its place of destination. The Medce carries a hundred artillery men, and a considerable quantity of light brdnancc, w hich renders it probable enough that the bombard ment of the fortress of St. Juan de Ullao is not the only object in view, but that a descent of troops is likewise contemplated. In a week or two w e shall have definite information of j all that transpires. St. Augustine, Oct. ‘25. We learn by the arrival of a gentleman from Traders’ Hill, that a white man has been taken in the Okefcenokc Swamp under suspi cious circumstances. It is said that he was discovered in the vicinity of an Indjan camp, which from appearances, its inmates had pre cipitately retreated, as a lire was burning and meat cooking. He would give no account of himself, except that he said he got lost in the swamp. It will be recollected that some time last summer, a w hole family named H'itd, was mur dered, w ith the exception of a boy about 10 years of age, who said he was suffered to escape by a white man. The individual taken is supposed to be the same, and the boy has been sent for to St. Mary’s, in order, if possi ble, to recognize him. The prisoner is in the | custody of Maj. I.ooinis in the vicinity of j Kettle Creek. The Boundary Line. —We have already treated of the correspondence which passed between Sir John Harvey, Lieut. Governor of i New Brunswick, and the Governor of Maine | relative to this question. We now learn that this survey has been commenced under the ' direction of Mr. Dean. The persons employed were accompanied J by a party of Indians and American citizens, I and were seen at Madawaska in the begin -1 ning of the month. Thence they proceeded up Grand River, crossed the portage to the Kistigouche River, and descending thence, j they proceeded to the imaginary highlands near the river St. Lawrence, where their ope rations ccnnnenced. The Frederickton Gazette expresses satis-1 faction at finding the object of this commis- j s:on of survey to be nothing more than to as- j certain by actual examination the practica bility of running the Boundary Line accord ing to the construction of the Treaty of Ghent; and adds, that it were to be wished 1 that such an exploration had long ago been made, a measure which might have divested the question of its present difficulties.—[N. Y. Herald. A contrivance has been ii&ented through the agency of which, it is stated, flax may be \ worked into cloth with the same facility as j cotton. Heretofore among the great obstacles to the general use of linen fabrics have been the preparation of the material for the opera- J tions of the spindle and the loom, and the consequent high price demanded for the ma nufactured article. It has been reserved for American ingenuity to find out a method by which these difficulties may be surmounted, and an improvement,— to produce which the imperial munificence of a Napoleon was ex erted in vain,—has been the reward of the en terprise of an American citizen. Every day’s experience proves the peculiar talent of our countrymen for practical science and the me chanic arts, and goes to show the superiority of free institutions in eliciting the powers of the human mind. This superiority is to be 1 traced in all probability to the prevalence of. education among the mass of our people as i the only adequate cause. Theoretical know- j ledge without practical tact is as useless as facility in practice without some acquaintance with theory, and it is only from the combina tion of the two, which is to be found among well educated working classes, that the ad vantages of both can be fairly and fuHy exhi bited. A company has been incorporated by the Legislature of Pennsylvania for the manu facture of linen goods according to the im- , proved method.—[Augusta Con. 1)1ED.
